Maybe look more for all-mountain or enduro type shoes if you plan on significant hike-a-bike. That will get you an actual grippy sole instead of some meager treads glued to the bottom of a road shoe.
Shimano am-7 is pretty wide in the forefoot. Giro Terraduro is a bit narrower, but not narrow. I think the Ventanas are the replacement for those. No experience with other brands AM offerings, but 5-10 makes a couple models and of the fit is like the Freerider, there should be ample space there as well.
